Mining frontiers are moving ever further beyond Earth's surface, as new subterranean realms, the seafloor, atmosphere and outer space increasingly come into purview of entrepreneurial activity. In this paper, we deploy an environmental governmentality analytic to examine mining a site-specific, intervening activity that brings relationship between these different material spaces view. We recognise expands through technological advancement its previous terrestrial foundations, it builds on deepens colonial governance strategies. argue does so, efforts govern likely be challenged by ‘excess’, which mean matter surpasses surficial enclosures goes produce unintended physical social consequences for other places. construct our argument examining secondary data at three resource varying stages exploitation associated governance: (i) surface during European colonialisation Amazon Basin; (ii) ongoing preparations deep-sea in Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone Pacific Ocean; (iii) prospect asteroid space. Overall, paper draws attention overlapping nature planet's voluminous, ability frustrate efforts. It offers voluminous analysis across burgeoning debates within political ecology.

The transition from the current fossil fuel-based economy toward one that relies on renewable sources of energy allegedly will require a set minerals for manufacturing batteries store this and power electric devices. Deep seabed mining (DSM) is an economic activity has potential to fill these material requirements as it collecting rich mineral resources bottom ocean. This brings enormous challenges regulation potentially irreversible impacts large scale. In addition, considered common heritage humankind, therefore, questions distributions burdens profits also emerge. We build premise social justice, legitimacy, participatory processes discuss six perspectives should be while dealing with DSM. claim DSM seen through wicked problem lens, acknowledging limits ignorance squared, inside scientific paradigm open possibility post-normal science. Participation center recognizing plural rationalities, ensuring justice capabilities, actively including global South. conclude DSM's legitimacy can enhanced by following perspective guidelines.
